One of the best-selling Canadian bands of all time, multi-Platinum rockers FINGER ELEVEN (@finger_eleven) are bringing more new music to their legions of fans with the release of Last Night On Earth. Released today (September 19), it’s the title track from their first new studio album in a decade. Pre-orders for the LAST NIGHT ON EARTH album—out November 7 via Better Noise Music, their first with the label—are available now HERE.
While everyone agreed the title track was a special song, it took FINGER ELEVEN—Scott Anderson (vocals), James Black (lead guitar, backing vocals), Rick Jackett (rhythm guitar), Sean Anderson (bass), and Steve Molella (drums)—many years to find the diamond inside of this movingly candid string-laden ballad about how relationships fall apart. Jackett realized that they had no true chorus, but as they were tracking drums for the last four songs on the album, drummer Steve Molella suggested doing an acoustic, campfire-style jam. They nailed it during their final hour of studio time. “Scott wrote some of my favourite lyrics,” Molella beams. “It was the most natural the song has ever sounded.”
Last Night On Earth is the follow-up to the album’s second single and video, which was released August 1, the thunderous Blue Sky Mystery featuring Richard Patrick from Filter. It’s currently flying up the Active Rock chart in Canada. Listen to the song HERE and view the video HERE.
